Bournemouth Pushes for Vasco’s Rayan With Package That Could Reach €50 Million

Overview

• Reports in Brazil say Bournemouth has prepared a €35 million offer with up to €15 million in add‑ons and has an agreement in principle on personal terms for a five‑year deal.
• Vasco renewed Rayan’s contract through 2028 and set a high release clause reported at €80 million, strengthening its bargaining position.
• Head coach Fernando Diniz publicly argued the €35 million base offer is insufficient and urged the 19‑year‑old to remain for 2026, a view echoed by defender Carlos Cuesta.
• Rayan underscored his value with two goals in Vasco’s 4–2 win over Maricá in the Campeonato Carioca opener on Thursday night in São Januário.
• Other European clubs have monitored the forward, and Zenit’s earlier €31 million proposal was not pursued, while Bournemouth’s push follows funds raised from the sale of Antoine Semenyo.
